1. Recall Summary
On September 12, 2024, Petzl America, Inc., in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), announced a recall of approximately 22,000 GYM, PANDION, and PANJI climbing harnesses. An additional 5,800 units were sold in Canada. The recall was issued due to a fall hazard associated with the harnesses. The recall notice states that one report has been received of a user in the United States suffering serious injuries from a fall involving these products.

2. Affected Products
The recall involves three specific models of Petzl climbing harnesses:
– GYM harness (Model No. C032AA00)
– PANDION harness (Model Nos. C029AA00 and C029AA01)
– PANJI harness (Model No. C028AA00)

Serial numbers are printed on a label inside the harnesses. The recalled serial number ranges are as follows:
– GYM harness (Model C032AA00): 18319xxxxxx through 19264xxxxxx; 19Jxxxxxxxxxx through 24Axxxxxxxxxx
– PANDION harness (Model C029AA00): 18321xxxxxx through 19264xxxxxx; 19Jxxxxxxxxxx through 24Axxxxxxxxxx
– PANDION harness (Model C029AA01): 1827xxxxxx through 19262xxxxxx; 19Jxxxxxxxxxx through 23Axxxxxxxxxx
– PANJI harness (Model C028AA00): 18326xxxxxx through 19253xxxxxx; 19Jxxxxxxxxxx and 23Jxxxxxxxxxx

The harnesses were sold at online and in-store retailers including KarstSports, PeakTrading, Backcountry, OmniProGear, Moosejaw, and other outdoor equipment stores from January 2019 through May 2024. The retail price ranged between $59.95 and $69.95. The harnesses were manufactured in Malaysia.

3. Hazard Information
According to the recall notice, the recalled harness can be put on backwards. When worn incorrectly, the rope or carabiner can be attached to a non-weight-bearing leg loop elastic band. This misconfiguration places the user at risk of falling from height and sustaining serious injury, including paraplegia or death. The recall notice explicitly states that one report has been received of a user in the United States suffering serious injuries from a fall.

4. Consumer Action Required
Consumers and operators of climbing gyms, adventure parks, search and rescue operations, and adventure guide companies should immediately stop using the recalled harnesses. Users should contact Petzl America to arrange for a free repair. No other action is specified in the recall notice beyond stopping use and contacting the company.
